A never ending social and economic crisis has forged the younger generation of middle class Argentinians into street wise survivors. At 24, Paula wants to be an actress, but she knows that time is running out. If she doesn't find her rent money she'll be homeless, with no future at all. She only has 24 hours to find this money and nobody to whom she can ask for help. Trapped by urgency and despair, Paula seriously contemplates becoming a prostitute but even this temporary employment will not provide her with an easy relief.
